Epidural Injections:
I’m currently involved in a car accident lawsuit in California. My attorney mentioned that if I decide to undergo epidural injections, the cost could reach up to $12,000 each. Has anyone here received these shots as part of their lawsuit? How much did it contribute to your settlement amount? I’ve also had 26 chiropractic sessions and two MRIs. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
It sounds like you’re going through a challenging time with your recovery and your lawsuit. Epidural shots can indeed be costly, and their impact on your settlement can vary widely depending on various factors, including the specifics of your case, the extent of your injuries, and the overall expenses you’ve incurred for your treatment.
Many people have had epidural steroid injections as part of their treatment plan for pain management, and these can sometimes be seen as necessary medical procedures, which might help reinforce your claim for damages. The costs of these injections, along with your chiropractor treatments and MRIs, are likely to be factored into your final settlement amount.
It’s essential to keep track of all your medical expenses and any documentation related to your treatments. Your attorney should be able to provide guidance on how these expenses will affect your case. It might be helpful to ask them how other similar cases have settled in terms of medical expenses, as that could give you a better idea of what to expect.
Make sure to keep an open line of communication with your attorney about any decisions regarding your treatment and how they may influence your lawsuit. Best wishes on your recovery and the resolution of your case!
